Heya, I'm trying to get rawhide running by yum updating a minimal footprint F16 virtual machine. Only @core package, so no gnome-* nothing else. Here is some info: ######################################################### [root@dhcp201-139 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora release 16 (Verne) [root@dhcp201-139 ~]# ######################################################### [root@dhcp201-139 ~]# yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=rawhide update . . . .

As it still throws -- 'ERROR with transaction check vs depsolve:' Any hints here? Meanwhile, I tried to install a clean f16 minimal guest on a latest f16 host, and it just hung. Details, I posted to fedora-virt list here - http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/virt/2011-October/002933.html -- /kashyap -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
